I haven't even looked at Rave Adelaide and I doubt I will.

I assume that there is very little talk of progressive, house and breaks on there.

Plus the main rason I go on the Adelaide forum is to catch up with friends since I now live in Melbourne and have very little to do the the Adelaide scene these days.

However, I can understand why others may have left.
A few weeks ago a number of people commented on certain aspects of the ITM forum they weren't happy with and nothing seems to have been done about it.

I think the moderating thing is still a pretty big issue. Whether they are needed in a moderating capacity or not, I really think it is important that moderators play an active part in the forum as they are key members of it and set the tone in a way.

I guess it's like any business or service. If people aren't happy with what they're getting and something new comes along that offers a good alternative there's no reason for them to stick around.

I prefer ITM. Raveadelaide's o.k but its just boring. The layout and the national aspect seem more appealing.

Your totally on the money there!!!

Defintaly think that that site too appeals more to the many ravers we have on here... I like itm, have made heaps of friends some from adelaide and alot from interstate, have noticed though that it peaks then dies alot but I think and know from having people talk to me that if some things are not resolved and rectified then alot more people wont be on here and myself included should it come to that... Which is a little bit sad...

has it died? the threads on both sites are similar, and just as dull or good as each other.and the traffic is the same, and heaps of people go on ITM on invisible mode so ya cant tell. it seems there fuk all difference to me. i just had a look and theres nothing extra flash or wikid about the site ( yet). so far it still just feels like the systo board, but thats cause i was familiar with it and the people who hung out there

i think the fact that ITM is getting moderated for dance music content is part of the reason that people are jumping to rave adelaide.

The forum nazi's opression has made itm less interesting, maybe on rave adelaide people will be allowed to speak there opinions without the post being moved to general forums Smile  :)

Raveadelaide is simply the system6 board renamed.... tongue :P
Even if you try to make it look different, it's still the same... and my biased views have never been welcome there anyways tongue :P


IMO Raveadelaide should do well, and will take some traffic away from here as it starts to slant away from Hard Dance only.
But I don't think it'll ever have the capacity to handle all the features that are on offer here - ie the gallery (huge, in terms of hosting space), the national news etc etc...

Actually ToastE, RA doesn't have quite a lot of the old systos on the board... so there's not so much bitching! Stick Out Tongue :p
Alot of people have popped up from nowhere, and a lot have come over from here. Dunno how it exactly got word around so quick!

If your gonna point the finger at least have enough guts to say my name..

I think its safe to say that the moderators dont to anything here anyway enough so thats not a valid excuse. I think the introduction of the new site is good... least thats where all the ravers will go now tongue :P

Neither have I... yet...

I subscribed to System6 probably just prior to Enchanted last year, and posted a few times...

But then I got caught up with ITM... Stoned :tripping: Stick Out Tongue :p

ITM caters to all the genres whereas System6 seemed to be focused more on the hard house/freeform/hardcore side of things, which is great if that's your main taste in dance music!

I'm not sure if Rave Adelaide is just a System6 reborn, or whether it is going to allow for discussion of genres such as techno, breaks, progressive, psy, house, etc...

I will probably check it out, and get myself an account, because I still want to support local Adelaide DJs in general, but I still think I'll be sticking to ITM mainly... About the only other forums I rarely post on now is Tranceadelaide...

While on the old System 6 forums there was heavy discussion in renaming the system 6 site etc, and while rave adelaide spawned from this idea, Rave Adelaide is not run by the "system 6 crew".

Sixer and myself ran the System 6 site in its various shapes and forms before, now Rave Adelaide is run by myself and 3 other "ravers".

Our main goal is to support many varied types of music, and not lock into the hard dance part.
The scene in Adelaide is tops, but I think too many people lock into one style, if we can cross polinate theres a brighter future for the Adelaide Dance scene.

People will always have their opinions about what/why/how Rave Adelaide came about, history plays some part, but we are keen to move on and develop the site further than system 6 ever got to.

ToastE, the gallery is on its way up, the space and bandwidth resources point you brought up isnt that much of a concern, as the site develops we can expand our resources. Not much point in buying 50 gig of space now when we dont need it.

Just felt I had to clear things up.
This town is big enough for two forums.... maybe even 3 on a Sunday! Stoned :tripping:

Rave Adelaide is definately not System 6 respawned.
The owner of System 6 does not run Rave Adelaide.

Rave Adelaide is actually run by 4 punters who have nothing to do with promoting.

As Woj said, we want it to be a RAVE SITE FOR ALL SOUTH AUSTRALIANS.
This extends accross all genres and is far from just Hard Dance based.

We have people on our site at the moment discussing House, Psy, Trance, Techno, Breaks, drum & bass, hardcore and even progressive

Thats the way we want it.

the question is, why didnt spadgeyboi, G and woj post on ITM?, it discussed/discussed the whole dance music shebang asswell. ITm is a club and rave site, rave ade;laide it would appear from the name to be focussing on raves and not clubbing( at least you'd think so with a name like RAVEAdelaide etc, and with the same day to day peeps as systo had, and adds for them doss c*nts play spadge and woj just like systo- of course people are gunna see the link with it ..... spadge seems heaps happy that Rave adelaide killed (? or whaTever word was used )ITM, same with G- he seems chuffed, i think rave adelaide is ok, it still feels like systo tho, but it hasnt been long, i rekon give it a chance and wait to see how it pans out, why was it put up with ITM here anyway?.... i think its funny not that im gunna care to much, i 'll find my info fro here, and if its not here, im sure someone will repost it on raveadelaide

Funny you went on the rave adelaide board and said you didnt like the way the itm site was running, but your the one who made it this way by whinging to the moderators . anyways i wasnt gonna bring it up on rave adelaide cause its stupid to keep old arguements going.

actually why ive switched to rave adelaide is not just music, as i dont think theres gonna be much detroit techno threads in it, but for the fact were allowed to talk to other stuff than music all day on it.

right on the money there!!!!
Thats exactly why ive moved on to RA too (im still not gonna leave ITM either - sticking to my roots Stick Out Tongue :p )

At least theres the RA lounge where u can talk bout all sorts of codshit, unlike on here where people have a spew for talking about something other than dance music

I dunno both forums are pretty good, but i think RA is just a bit more relaxed than these boards as far as content goes (but its early days still so u never know.....)
